Ranger Mods

Hi everyone,
I'm probably the worlds oldest auto electrical T/A haha and am trying to learn a bit more about Rangers to help my young bro in law and also because I may get one myself soon... the first and immediate issue I am trying to tackle is disabling TMPS in his 2016 xlt... I have a Bluetooth OBD and have Forscan with an extended license... basically after any info on how to do it... thanks in advance

Hi Losty,

I used to work out of Newcastle and know Maitland well.

Start here viewtopic.php?f=12&t=14 then move to here viewtopic.php?f=12&t=7

Any question feel free to raise them.

Thanks so much Stewart my bro in law is popping over today so I can have a crack at it... I'll let you know how it all goes... much appreciated mate

G'day again Stewart
Mate attempted the mod and we appear to have successfully done it woohoo ... my Bluetooth OBD adapter is only a cheap Chinese one which doesn't allow access to the IPC (only BCM) as it doesnt have switching for HS and MS CANBUS which I believe is the issue... that being said on my extensive reaserch other blokes had said the BCM section only needed to be adjusted to acheive the TMPS dissable mod... I got into the BCM and made the one digit adjustment and the lights and warnings are now gone yay, so success ....I hope haha... I would be interested to know if you think I should/need to get a better OBD adapter and go back in to do the IPC section also and why, but at this stage it appears to be all good with just the BCM mod .... thanks again so much for your help mate you are a bloody champion

Only really need to make modifications in the IPC if you want to remove the TPMS menu.

Glad you had success.

Ah that makes sense, thanks for that extra info mate... the bro inlaw was pretty much just wanting to get rid of the annoying warnings haha so all is good... gotta thank you again for the help mate and the awesome forum that you run
